Anybody else has an Atom Life with worn USB plug?

I'm starting to have real problems with my USB plug. At first it would drop charger plugs when it was on the wall, so I put it upside down. But now I can't connect to the PC all the time either. I have to jiggle the plug a bit or even breathe down in it (the moist makes the connection better). Has anybody else had that problem and fixed it in any way? I suppose the plug is soldered on in such a way that it has to go to a workshop, right?

i strongly suggest you to send it for repair or resolder the base of the connection(this is user servicable provided you have some soldering skills) so it doesnt wiggle. i'd probly even suggest to hotglue the plug but before you do so make sure the plug is sitted properly and it does sync

the same thing happened to me and with a bit of jiggle the plug broke off and now its permenently damaged(ie it will never sync via USB again) so far with self repair i only manage to make it charge

i got no idea how to reattach a 10pin mini USB plug to my board and some of the copper tracks looks damaged which means if i send it to the shops, its a $500 repair and a board swap
